Shapes - What are their "key points" in snapping in Designer

[gary danang]

Hi Anyone 

Is there a list of the key snapping points of an object are ?

For Example - is the radius of a curve or the centre of a circle a "Key Point"  of a shape in Designer?

The HELP online manual is not very helpful.. I want to snap to the centre of a circle

thx

I think the best way is to enable Snap to object bounding boxes and under that enable Include bounding box mid points:

I'm not sure either what a 'shape key point' is but it doesn't always seem to produce a snap to the centre of a circle. I suspect that the centre of a circle is never itself a snapping candidate - the snap is to the 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock points on the boundary of the circle.

Key points don't seem to be documented or used as they might need to be. Maybe this entire thread can shed some light on key point & snapping aspects:

I find that point transform tool is a hidden gem. It really gives some features I can not find in other tools. Here it snaps center of a circle to a curve.
